Topological Factors Derived From Bohmian Mechanics
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylor, Roderich Tumulka, Nino Zanghi
abstract: We derive for Bohmian mechanics topological factors for quantum systems with
a multiply-connected configuration space Q. These include nonabelian factors
corresponding to what we call holonomy-twisted representations of the
fundamental group of Q. We employ wave functions on the universal covering
space of Q. As a byproduct of our analysis, we obtain an explanation, within
the framework of Bohmian mechanics, of the fact that the wave function of a
system of identical particles is either symmetric or anti-symmetric.
